Lincoln Park restaurant Casati’s Modern Italian celebrated its fourth anniversary with an evening of fashion and food. Owners Stefano and Melanie Casati partnered with Zzazz Productions to feature local Chicago designers in three eyecatching live fashion shows.
Industry notables and social media influencers, including Miss Chicago Domenica Biondolillo, Sylwia Wilczynska, and Darla and Jeff Lawler, intermingled within the crowd of restaurant regulars—all of whom gathered to dine as friends, which is a central aspect of the Italian dining experience.
Luscious greenery, romantic lighting and 350 well- fed guests populated the space, and after a curated, buffet-style Casati’s dinner, guests made their way to the embellished outdoor patios to sip and socialize.
